managerial accounting assignment At the end of June, with four months remaining on the project, Scott Corporation informed Park Industries that, owing to a projected cash flow problem, follow-on work would not be awarded until the first week in March (1988). This posed a tremendous problem for Jerry Dunlap because he did not wish to break up the project office. If he permitted his key people to be assigned to other projects, there would be no guarantee that he could get them back at the beginning of the follow-on work. Good project office personnel are always in demand. Jerry estimated that he needed $40,000 per month during the "bathtub" period to support and maintain his key people. Fortunately, the bathtub period fell over Christmas and New Year's, a time when the plant would be shut down for seventeen days. Between the vacation days that his key employees would be taking, and the small special projects that this people could be temporarily assigned to on other programs, Jerry revised his estimate to $125,000 for the entire bathtub period. At the weekly team meeting, Jerry told the program team members that they would have to "tighten their belts" in order to establish a management reserve of $125,000. The project team understood the necessity for this action and began rescheduling and replanning until a management reserve of this size could be realized. Because the contract was firm-fixed-price, all schedules for administrative support (i.e., project office and project team members) were extended through February 28 on the supposition that this additional time was needed for final cost data accountability and program report documentation.

111 What is the maintenance dose of phenytoin in seizures arising as a complication of chronic renal failure?

112 I know that the loading dose of phenytoin in status epilepticus is 20 mg/kg with an upper limit of 1000 mg but if the same situation arose as a complication of chronic renal failure (on regular dialysis), should this dose remain the same or be reduced? If reduced, what should the dose be?

113 1. What is the most effective antiepileptic for a patient with simple partial motor status epilepticus who is not responding to a loading dose of phenytoin? 2. How long does phenytoin, given in a loading dose, take to work?

114 Is valproate effective if given rectally in status epilepticus and, if so, what dose is recommended?

115 In simple partial motor status epilepticus, if the patient does not respond to diazepam and phenytoin, is it justifiable to proceed to anaesthetic medication?

116 What is the recommended upper limit dose of lamotrigine when combined with both carbamazepine and valproate?

117 Is a valproate-lamotrigine combination more effective than carbamazepine on its own against partial seizures?

118 Why is the incidence of parkinsonism less common in smokers?

119 Is it recommended to start the treatment of parkinsonism with dopamine agonists alone in elderly (over 60 years old) patients, and to delay using L-dopa until the disease has progressed much further? Is there a rationale for this protocol in younger patients?

120 Does amantadine increase the endogenous release of dopamine, thus aiding early treatment of parkinsonism?
